OPDE has started construction of a new 6.9 MWp solar farm near Ashford in Kent. The new solar farm represents a total investment of over Pounds 7 million and is scheduled to be connected to the electricity network by December.

The PV plant will comprise approximately 27,000 solar modules and will generate enough electricity to meet the equivalent annual demand of approximately 1,850 homes in the UK.

The new plant in Hothfield adds to the 8.9MWp solar farm in East Sussex, a project announced in October. In addition, in April this year, construction of a 12MWp plant began in Alresford, Hampshire, which confirms the Group has an active and successful UK development pipeline.

In addition to this strong presence in the UK market, OPDE is also very active in the development, investment and operation of new solar farms in several markets across the world including, among others, Mexico and Brazil.

A New Way To Convert Light To Electrical Energy
Pasadena CA (SPX) Oct 31, 2014
The conversion of optical power to an electrical potential is of general interest for energy applications, and is typically accomplished by optical excitation of semiconductor materials. A research team has developed a new method for this conversion, using an all-metal structure, based on the plasmon resonance in metal nanostructures. Plasmoelectric potentials occur when metal nanostructur ... read more
